Former MLB player Dustan Mohr has been sentenced to nine years in an Indiana jail after pleading guilty to multiple sex crimes against a 13-year-old girl.
Mohr was accused of sexually fondling his victim – who he was hired to give softball lessons to – a number of times over a six-month period.
The 47-year-old played for the Minnesota Twins, San Francisco Giants, Colorado Rockies, Boston Red Sox and Tampa Bay Devil Rays during his baseball career.
According to local news outlet WANE 15, Mohr was left in tears in court and apologized to the victim and her family. He was arrested in August 2023.
Superior Court Judge Fran Gull sentenced Mohr to five years for each of the three felonies – child solicitation for sexual intercourse, child seduction and sexual misconduct with a minor.
The 15-year sentence was partially suspended but he will serve three years in prison for each count and the rest of the time on adult probation.
Court documents show Mohr was hired by the victim’s family to give their daughter softball lessons at Strike Zone Training Center in Fort Wayne. However, he began to turn her against her family and severely damage her confidence.
After six months of training, the victim’s father found his daughter at Mohr’s home.
She told investigators across multiple interviews that Mohr touched her in a sexual manner during their softball sessions and they shared private digital images with each other.
